“I have had problems with squirrels for a long time and this feeder was a last chance to continue feeding the birds. It has been quite funny watching these little pests trying to get at the seed. They have tried from every angle with no luck. They now pass by taking no notice of the feeder. Success at last. The greenfinches were a bit scared to go inside the cage at first, it is a bit tight for them but they seem fine with it now and the smaller birds have no problem. My only negative comment is that the feeder is made in China. I do not buy goods from this Country and should have asked before buying.”
Hello,
Thank you for your feedback. When introducing a new feeder into the garden it is not uncommon for the birds to avoid it for a time as they are unfamiliar and it will still smell new.
We advise hanging the new feeder next to the old feeder and then after a few days remove the old one as this will give the birds chance to try the new feeder and move across.
“Build and functionality are great - however it holds way less seed than my previous feeders, which I had not realised when I ordered it - and the smaller birds are not as happy ... but a few have found their way in .... if I did not have so many giant bullies eating vast amounts of my bird seed (rooks, crows, jackdaws, magpies, etc etc) I would go back to a normal feeder - but for now I will persevere!!!”
“Problems with delivery firm, but quickly sorted by Ian. Nice product -certainly deters squirrels.
Great Spotted woodpecker a regular visitor, but finches and tits still a bit wary (been out 4 days)”
“THe important thing is, it's squirrel proof! I needed to add extra wire to keep the top fastened but that's no problem. The squirrels stay off and the little birds and the woodpeckers have no problem getting the sunflower hearts that I put in.”
